07 mustang GT, locked pcm, "vehicle not supported"

[Westex71]

Went to start my mustang the other morning and it would not turn over. Battery is new, checked all fuses and starter which are good. Plugged my I2 in and it took a very long time to sync up. Scan tool or tune vehicle does not work, only the message "vehicle not supported" comes up. I have all of the latest updates installed. It looks like the I2 has locked the pcm. I'm thinking it needs to be re-flashed by the dealer which is allot of $$$. Any help this weekend would be nice or do I have to wait until monday?

If the car just wouldnt start and you hadnt flashed it right before that happened, the tuner had nothing to do with the situation...best to check the vehicle and pcm, connections, etc.

Took the car to the dealer and they confirmed that the pcm is indeed at fault. However, they can't (won't) reflash the pcm. They want to sell me a new one for $900. Is there anybody besides the dealer who can reflash the pcm?

really odd to see pc just die on its own, you can check ebay, etc for a much better price.

Update;

Had to replace the pcm which had some blown traces on the circuit board. Got a reman unit. Installed it, and had the keys reprogrammed. Also had to readjust the neutral safety switch. I haven't put a tune in it yet, but I did plug the intune in and all the screens came up quick with no delays. I have to say I'm a little Leary about putting a tune back into the vehicle.
